What Are Collagen Stimulators?
At Cosmedica Dermatology in Washington, D.C., led by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Sara Hogan, advanced collagen biostimulators like Sculptra® and RADIESSE® offer innovative options to address the natural effects of aging, such as thinner skin, facial volume loss, and wrinkles caused by decreased collagen production. These treatments stimulate your body's collagen production, helping to enhance skin thickness, firmness, and overall appearance over time. If you're considering Sculptra or RADIESSE injections to rejuvenate your skin and improve areas of concern, consulting with Dr. Hogan can help you determine the best solution for your aesthetic and skin health goals.
How do Collagen Stimulators Work?
Collagen stimulator treatments work by encouraging the skin to produce its own collagen, helping to improve sagging skin and smooth shallow to deep wrinkles and folds. Administered with precise injection techniques by a trained specialist, these treatments can enhance the appearance of areas such as hollow cheeks, temples, and nasolabial folds (commonly known as laugh lines). Depending on the product used, your treatment may involve a series of sessions over several months, with the number of injections tailored to the degree of correction needed and the plan you and your doctor create.
Collagen stimulator treatments are performed using a fine needle or cannula to strategically inject the product into specific areas of concern. The procedure is typically done in-office and requires minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities shortly after treatment.
What Are the Benefits of Collagen Stimulators?
As we age, the natural decline in collagen production can lead to volume loss, sagging skin, and the development of wrinkles. Collagen stimulators offer a minimally invasive way to support your skin's natural structure and achieve a rejuvenated appearance. By encouraging collagen production, these treatments at Cosmedica Dermatology provide long-lasting improvements to skin texture and firmness. Benefits of collagen stimulators include:
- Improve skin elasticity and firmness
- Smooth shallow to deep wrinkles and folds
- Enhance facial contours by restoring volume to hollow areas
- Support natural collagen production for gradual, long-lasting results
- Require minimal downtime, making them a convenient option
